Since I last posted on here I have gotten through one of the toughest TMAs to date and passed which I am glad about.
The TMA drove me mad as I was suffering really badly from writers block and what I was actually writing wasn't what I had in my head to write. So I basically wrote a lot of rubbish because what I wanted to write wasn't coming out.
I had such a hard time to write anything at all and I was like 400 words down on it and normally, even if I am stuck, I manage to get over the amount of words you are meant to use but this time I didn't but at least I passed and that is the main thing.
I was getting worried about passing as my TMA was 3 days late in getting back to me and I was in a bit of a panic about it but I got it and opened it straight away and was very happy to see that I HAD PASSED!
I did have a week and a half off after I finished my TMA when I was only planning four days max but I just got out of the routine of studying and now I have gotten back into it by doing some on Friday then over the weekend I didn't do any as I had a bit of a cold and my head hurt too much to do any. Now Today I am back on my study and have done just over an hour and will be going back to it very soon to do enough to fill five pages of A4 paper, with answers to the questions in the exercises, and that might take a while to do as there is a lot of reading as well as the exercises but once I have filled the five pages I have run out of A4 paper and can't do anymore to I have another book of A4 paper which I am hoping will be Wednesday.
Even though I won't be studying because lack of paper it doesn't mean that I won't be doing anything as my dad is working on a set of accounts and I said that I will work on them this week so I can earn myself a bit of money. So he is giving them for me to finish them

Since I last posted on here I have gotten through one of the toughest TMAs to date and passed which I am glad about.

I did have a week and a half off after I finished my TMA when I was only planning four days max but I just got out of the routine of studying and now I have gotten back into it by doing some on Friday then over the weekend I didn't do any as I had a bit of a cold and my head hurt too much to do any. Now Today I am back on my study and have done just over an hour and will be going back to it very soon to do enough to fill five pages of A4 paper, with answers to the questions in the exercises, and that might take a while to do as there is a lot of reading as well as the exercises but once I have filled the five pages I have run out of A4 paper and can't do anymore to I have another book of A4 paper which I am hoping will be Wednesday.
Even though I won't be studying because lack of paper it doesn't mean that I won't be doing anything as my dad is working on a set of accounts and I said that I will work on them this week so I can earn myself a bit of money. So he is giving them for me to finish them off and earn some money for the weekend.
I don't know how much work there is for me to do but I would say that there will be a lot for me to do and to keep me busy for a few days but I don't mind doing it as it isn't too hard.
I have to get the house in a tidy shape too as I have let it go a bit over the past month. There was a time when I was doing at least an hours worth of cleaning a day to keep on top of it but I haven't been able to do any because I have been lazy. I know that isn't a good excuse but at least I am being honest there.
I have actually done about forty minutes worth of cleaning so far today and I can see myself doing more before the day is out.
I might not of mentioned it in any previous posts yet but Mr D will be down this weekend. Well on Friday. He is at Summer School in Edinburgh at the moment but when it finishes on Friday at lunch time he will be getting a train down to Preston and then riding his bike from Preston to Blackburn to come and stay for five days and four nights.
He will be staying here as he is a bit cheap and doesn't want to pay for a hotel though he didn't mind that at first but then I said my dad might let him stay here and he pinned all his hopes on that. Well actually if I am honest he put it as set in stone that he could stay here even though I did say to him that there was a massive chance that he wouldn't be able to stay here.
Anyway I told him that my dad is likely to say no and he didn't seem to take that too well and got in a grumpy mood with me when there was no need what-so-ever to do that. It is because he seems to not to like to spend his money and neither did my last BF who was also Scottish. I am not saying that all Scottish men are like that but the ones I have known are like that.
Anyway as I said he was bang out of order because I never said he would be allowed to stay here for sure and him being him thought he would be able to no problem.
Anyway I pushed the subject with my dad and he said that he could stay here and I told Mr D and he came across not too thankful even though I had explained the chances of staying here as slim to nil so it really pissed me off when he didn't seem to thankful for it. I just don't think he understands my dad and this whole situation and if he listened to all that I say to him when I explain things then he may of been a lot more thankful and grateful for being allowed to stay here.
Next was the situation of where he was going to sleep. Well it isn't and wasn't going to be in my room with me. No way!
So I told him we didn't have any spare beds or anything for him to sleep on and that he might have to buy a camp bed or a fold down bed or something. I explained we had nothing and that seen as he was saving over £100 on the hotel then £25 for a fold down bed isn't that expensive. But he had other ideas and made it clear that he would be sleeping on the sofa.
Well there you go...Wellll I knew the second he said that he was determined to sleep on it no matter what and no matter what I said to him he didn't listen.
I told him that (a) the sofa is too small for him as when I lie on it my feet hang over the end and he is 6 inches tallers than me (b) the sofa isn't at all comfy enough to sleep on as I tried and spent 90% of the night fully awake (C) it is a sofa and maybe one night on the sofa every now and then is ok but not three nights on the run.
To (a) he didn't seem to want to listen to or take in what I was saying about it being to short for him to lie on. To (b) he said he can sleep anywhere, even on things that are not comfy and I told him that if I can't fall asleep on it then there is no chance that he will be able to do so either. To (c) he seemed to not take in the fact that it is a sofa first and foremost and that is where we have to sit. It is not for sleeping on and it woulf only be ok for one night for someone to sleep on as a last choice really.
He got really irritated at that and I could tell he was really pissed off. I think he is so used to being able to do what he wants to do ancompromisese is not in his nature. I too am used to doing what I want to do but I know how tcompromisese and not tell people what I will be doing and where I will be sleeping in their house.
Me and my dad talked about the sofa issue and he agreed with what I said and when I told Mr D he seemed pissed off with me about it and was grumpy with me over it which I really didn't deserve and if hcarriesys on being like that when he doesn't get his own way or for the numerous other ways he takes his grumpy mood out on me for then I won't have anything to do with him as I am not here for that kind of shit off anyone.
Anyway I said he will have to get something to sleep on as I have nothing here and the sofa is out of bounds for anything other than sitting on.
He then agreed to buy a air bed when he came down here only to find out his dad had one. Well to save money he was going to borrow that and take it all the way to Edinburgh on his bike and then on the train down to Preston and then on his bike from Preston to my house.
Now if that isn't being (a) stupid (b) cheap (c) childish then I don't know what is as he was going to have to drag it round with him all over the place so he didn't have to buy anything to sleep on. Now that is cheap and it pissed me off and I was a bit grumpy with him for once not that anyone would notice as he had been in a grumpy mood for days and was being a right idiot with me for no reason and even denied doing it when I told him how badly he was treating me. I then did get a perfectic appogee about it a few days later but I should of ended it there and then as he was being so off with me for no reason and blamed his mood on his daughter yet he wouldn't tell me what she was of meant to have done to get him in that mood.
Anyway I knew my brother had an air bed from a conversation with my mum and I didn't really want to tell BD that I knew someone with one as I am sick to death of him being cheap and having to have everything his way ( u can tell he has been single for a long time as he iextremelyly selfish and child like) so I did say a day before he left for Summer School that I knew someone who had one but I had to ask first and to hold off the plans of ordering one online whilst I found out if I could borrow one.
So my brother said yes and Mr D didn't even ask me the answer as he took it as he would be able to borrow one before I even said I could and that annoyed me as I said I might not be able to so yet again he was way out of order. But when I told him my brother was lending me one he did seegratefulul for once but that was because I had saved him £25 and his attitude is annoying me and I don't care who reads this as I know he will but I am telling him this to his face. Oh and another things that annoys me is the fact he thinks he is always right and hates to be told he isn't and I will tell him how I feel about all these things that have gone on and he will be in a grumpy mood with me because of it and be nasty to me. I don't know why he gets this way but I am sick of it.... 100% sick of it.....
The TMA drove me mad as I was suffering really badly from writers block and what I was actually writing wasn't what I had in my head to write. So I basically wrote a lot of rubbish because what I wanted to write wasn't coming out.

Time Flies...third time lucky
I have tried to post this three times now so I hope it shows up this time
It seems that time flies.....Two weeks since I have last written anything on here so I am guessing that now I have nothing to do and I am a little bored that I should write a little about what I have been up to in the last two weeks though it does feel like I haven't been doing much at all.Well I have just sent off TMA 05 for A207 and that was stressful. I have such a hard time with it. As you know I fell behind again with my course work but I caught up in no time at all which was good for me.Then I got writers block when it came to the TMA. I was sat there and I knew what I wanted to write but everytime that I sat down to do something nothing happened. That went on for days and days and I was able to write things but it wasn't what I wanted to write so of course it was a lot of rubbish.I was also having the hardest time writing any words whether they were rubbish or not and was doing a wod count every two minutes.I struggled to get it up to 2000 words and the last 300 were a load of total rubbish where I just went on about nothing really.everyone had trouble with this TMA because we had so much information and didn't really know how to use it at all. I must admit I know I could do a much better TMA that what I did but it is too late now as my tutor should of gotten it by now so I will have to see if I have passed it or not. I don't know if it is worthy a pass but I really need and want one so I will have to wait about 5 more days to see what I get.I have looked ahead at the next (and last) two TMAs and they are hard. I mean really hard and I must admit that I am not looking forward to the next one, one bit. To me it looks the harder of the two and I know that I am going to struggle like mad with it. I don't like the look about the question or the course work but I am just going to have to get on with it I guess. I will be glad when this course is over. Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying this course but also I need a brake and not from studying but from this multinterdisaplinary course as it is heavy going and I just want to get on with my French course with actually starts on my birthday.I am having about 4 days off now to concentrate on a few others but I will be back on studying but the middle of next weeks and I will start my TMA at the beginning of next month so I get ten days to spend on my TMA as I know I will need it from just looking at it.
I sent back my forms for my next two courses. Which are French which starts on November the first and goes on for 11 months and Religion which starts the first week in Febuary next year on goes on for nine months ending with an exam next October.I am looking forward to starting the French as I know it will be a bit of a challenge to do. I know I should be OK with the written work but I know that I will struggle with the speaking part of it as I am absolutely rubbish with ponoucation. My boyfriend is actually doing this course too so I guess we will both be helping each other out with it. I have told him what I will have trouble with and he said he will teach me how to pronounce the words which will be a great help for me.The religion one I am also looking forward to doing as I picked it to do at the beginning of the years when I was looking at what I wanted to do next. That course just stuck out to me and I looked at loads of others to make sure but I always kept coming back to Religion so it will be very interesting.
Over the next three days I am going to try to work on the BRR website because since Ii have taken over the site all I have done is update one of the many pages because I don't have the first clue about how to do things to websites and it is very time consuming.Plus I do get very bored quickly so I might be sat there for 30 minutes and want to go off and do something else because I am way too bored to sit there and work on the site.But it does need updating and the club pay a lot of money for it to be hosted so the least I can do is work on it a bit so I have decided that from tomorrow whilst I am not doing any study I will spend three days on it and update the main page and also put on a new entry form for the BRR race which is next month as the old one is still on.If I get stuck I guess I will find someone for advice but I must admit I am not looking forward to it but will try to do it. I said to myself I will so I shall.
Anyway I am getting tired now so I shall go and post more soon

That went on for days and days and I was able to write things but it wasn't what I wanted to write so of course it was a lot of rubbish.
I was also having the hardest time writing any words whether they were rubbish or not and was doing a wod count every two minutes.
I struggled to get it up to 2000 words and the last 300 were a load of total rubbish where I just went on about nothing really.
everyone had trouble with this TMA because we had so much information and didn't really know how to use it at all. I must admit I know I could do a much better TMA that what I did but it is too late now as my tutor should of gotten it by now so I will have to see if I have passed it or not. I don't know if it is worthy a pass but I really need and want one so I will have to wait about 5 more days to see what I get.
I have looked ahead at the next (and last) two TMAs and they are hard. I mean really hard and I must admit that I am not looking forward to the next one, one bit. To me it looks the harder of the two and I know that I am going to struggle like mad with it. I don't like the look about the question or the course work but I am just going to have to get on with it I guess. I will be glad when this course is over. Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying this course but also I need a brake and not from studying but from this multinterdisaplinary course as it is heavy going and I just want to get on with my French course with actually starts on my birthday.
I am having about 4 days off now to concentrate on a few others but I will be back on studying but the middle of next weeks and I will start my TMA at the beginning of next month so I get ten days to spend on my TMA as I know I will need it from just looking at it.
I sent back my forms for my next two courses. Which are French which starts on November the first and goes on for 11 months and Religion which starts the first week in Febuary next year on goes on for nine months ending with an exam next October.
I am looking forward to starting the French as I know it will be a bit of a challenge to do. I know I should be OK with the written work but I know that I will struggle with the speaking part of it as I am absolutely rubbish with ponoucation.
My boyfriend is actually doing this course too so I guess we will both be helping each other out with it. I have told him what I will have trouble with and he said he will teach me how to pronounce the words which will be a great help for me.
The religion one I am also looking forward to doing as I picked it to do at the beginning of the years when I was looking at what I wanted to do next. That course just stuck out to me and I looked at loads of others to make sure but I always kept coming back to Religion so it will be very interesting.
Over the next three days I am going to try to work on the BRR website because since Ii have taken over the site all I have done is update one of the many pages because I don't have the first clue about how to do things to websites and it is very time consuming.
Plus I do get very bored quickly so I might be sat there for 30 minutes and want to go off and do something else because I am way too bored to sit there and work on the site.
But it does need updating and the club pay a lot of money for it to be hosted so the least I can do is work on it a bit so I have decided that from tomorrow whilst I am not doing any study I will spend three days on it and update the main page and also put on a new entry form for the BRR race which is next month as the old one is still on.
If I get stuck I guess I will find someone for advice but I must admit I am not looking forward to it but will try to do it. I said to myself I will so I shall. It gives me something to do so I will go for it so wish me luck.
Anyway I am getting tired now so I shall go and post more soon

I did......
write a post for my blog a week or so ago and it was really long. I clicked on it to publish it and it didn't. At the time I didn't want to write another one because I had spent about 30 minutes on it and I didn't want to try again and for the same thing to happen.
I can't remember what I wrote in the last one so I know that this one is likely to be different as a lot has happened since I wrote the last one.
Since I wrote on here at the beginning of last month I managed to get another TMA done. I was so stressed at the time as I had fallen behind and had to do about four weeks worth of work in 9 days and then spend three days on my TMA.
I was studying for upto four hours a day trying to catch up and I managed to catch up and start my TMA. That TMA more than stressed me out as I didn't really get the question but at the same time I did if that makes any sense. But because I had been doing all that study I wasn't really in any kind of mood so I kept doing 300 words and then giving up on it and going away for a few hours and then coming back to it. I think in total I maybe spent about 3 hours on my TMA. I should of spent more time on it and maybe I spent a little over three hours on the TMA but if I am honest it wouldn't of been much more than three hours on it.
I thought I had wrote a load of rubbish on the TMA and I expected it to be a really bad fail as what I wrote didn't really make any sense what-so-ever to me so I thought the tutor would of given me 25% for it as that is what I would of marked it as.
So I got it back less than a week later and I nearly fell over as I got my second to highest score so far on this course. I really couldn't believe my eyes when I opened it and read it. I was stood there dumbfounded thinking that my tutor must of read someone else's and given me the mark. It gave me the boost I needed as I was feeling down as I wasn't too well and I was thinking of quitting the course but when I got that I was made up.
I got sick just after I sent my TMA in and I was sick until about 4 days after I received my TMA back so I was still unwell till about last Saturday. The funny thing is I am sick again and%

I got sick just after I sent my TMA in and I was sick until about 4 days after I received my TMA back so I was still unwell till about last Saturday. The funny thing is I am sick again and I have exactly the same as I had two weeks ago for almost two weeks. I was well for less than a week and now I have it again and all I want to do is sleep all the time as I am extremely tired. I should be in bed now as I wanted to rest up before LIVE8 started at 2pm but it is just after 1pm now and I am sat here now typing this so I might only get half an hour but that is better than nothing. I know I will have a hard time staying awake though it all but I will try and I can always go to bed when it finishes at 8 tonight.
At the moment, as I said above, I am fighting another illness and I need to also catch up on about 3 tough weeks of course work and do a TMA. I fell behind because I got sick and was sick for two weeks and unable to do any. Now I have 10 days to do three weeks of (tough) course work and a TMA but as I said I am sick.
I did manage to do an hour yeterday but today I am too ill and tired to get any done and I really need to get some done but I feel like crap and it ten miutes LIVE8 starts. - I so wish that I had gone to sleep this morning as I don't think I will make it till 8pm now :O( - so I am hoping to do at least an hour tomorrow and maybe two on Monday though I should be doing three hours a dabutyt being ill is preventing me from doing that. I am hoping by Tuesday I can do two hours a day and by Friday I can do three hours a day. I was meant to be starting my TMA next Sunday but it is looking like it will be Monday. I hope it is Monday as I can't afford to start it any later than that. This TMA is the hardest so far and I am really going to struggle on it so me getting ill now is the wrong time for me to get ill but it is better than me getting ill on the day I am meant to start the TMA as I wouldn't be able to do it so I guess me getting ill now is kind os a blessing.
On Wednesday I got a BRILLIENT thing through in the post that has taken seven months to come through, I was actually wondering if it was ever going to come through but it has and I am more than made up.
It is my certificate in Humanities. I worked hard for it -in the days when I studided hard- and I finally applied for it at the end of last year when realizeded I could have it and I got it and it is more than GREAT. I now have letters that I can use after my name and that really made my years....I can now have CertHum(Open) after my name if I want and I do want and I am still smiling and made up about getting that certificate. It is more than fantastic. One of the best things I have owned and I am getting a frame for it and it is going on the wall. I picked the wall months and months ago and it is going in a place so there is room for another next to it and my degree in the middle above them and if I get a forth thing for the OU it can go underneath the two I am planning to have together.
I am more than made up about it all and I even went out and bought a bottle of Moet to celebrate and I haven't even opened that yet.
Right I am going to go but shall post more in the next few days I guess :O)
